The Last Lecture

Just finished another very memorable book.  Charlie had loaned me his copy of Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture" back in September but when I started reading it at that point, my diagnosis and surgery were too fresh and it felt pretty overwhelming to contemplate anyone's last anything.  A couple weeks ago at church Amy called my attention to the book again and reminded that Pausch was a fellow Unitarian.  So, with two recommendations from fine folks, I decided to give it another go.  I am really glad I did.  Reading it was still a painful emotional experience at times but it really is an inspiring read (and it helps me get beyond my occasional bouts of "why-me" self pity).   It is a brief book and one I recommend to everyone without reservation.  You can also see and hear his last lecture referenced in the title on-line via YouTube:  Achieving Your Childhood Dreams. /dps
